You're never too old to take care of yourself.
I learned that lesson this weekend, after spending some time with my Nan. She is going to be 89 this year, and she "glows". While I was at her home, I used her potty. Her bathroom is filled with sprays, lotions, creams, tubes and an assortment of products she uses on a daily basis. As I was washing my hands, I glanced down at the counter and I noticed a tube of Anti-Wrinkle cream. 
I had to smile. To think that after 89 years, she is not giving up . . . she is going to fight those wrinkles! Go Nan! The Anti-Wrinkle cream made me love her even more. I realized that she loves herself, enough to take care of herself. And though I think it is her love that makes her shine, the fact that she is not giving-up on taking care of herself keeps her feeling ALIVE. Paying attention to yourself -- even just a little -- can make A LOT of difference! It may even keep wrinkles away!
I have a lot to learn . . .
Maybe I should brush my hair today? Maybe I should take a shower?
Hmmmmm . . . food for thought.
Hahahahaha! That is too funny!
ReplyDeleteMom totally got me into "total effects," an oil of olay product sold at Costco. It is pricy, but I need to fight some wrinkles too. Fortunately, mine are smile lines by my eyes and they are creasing upward, so I'll keep smiling.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Nan! I wondered how she did it. : )
Made me laugh that you thought about brushing your hair today. Seems like a chore, doesn't it? Thank goodness for ponytails and clips.
